Hello.
Yamamura of the type design group (@ kanyam01)is.
This spring, I have reached my fifth year of joining the company. I had been training as a part-time job for a year before joining the company, so it is actually my sixth year.
Since I was a child, I have been doing calligraphy, and I am making various prototypes centered around Handwriting typefaces.
Handwriting typeface, I write with all the brushstrokes! Not necessarily, I draw the path with the mouse and make it on the PC.
It is difficult to express the texture of the brush with a mouse, and I actually write it to check the flow of the brush often, but it is said that the pile of paper is called a curse book in the company, ,
One of the things I was in charge of since my part-time days was creating new kana for the regular script font "Greco."
After joining the company, I continued to learn other jobs while simultaneously working on creating this pseudonym.
It took five years and many remakes, but it has finally been released as the "NewGreco."
The regular font "NewGreco" will be released as a new font at Fontworks in August.

I am in charge of the pseudonym design.
The kanji is based on the regular script "Greco."
We are currently working hard on the project! We will do our best! pic.twitter.com/N331mRvlch
" NewGreco" is scheduled for release this August.
I think it has a different feel from the dynamic kana of "Greco," so I hope you will enjoy the difference and use it in different ways.
I will also work hard on creating other Handwriting fonts so that I can unveil them soon.
